Fog causes chaos and long lines at Auckland Airport

Heavy fog on Sunday affected flights both from and to Wellington and is expected to cause delays on Monday as well. The Met Service says that the conditions will clear in the morning as showers develop. As of Sunday at 9 pm, Air New Zealand said about 60 flights into and out of Wellington had been affected, with approximately 2,800 passengers being delayed. Long lines were the result, and the airline was working as hard as possible to get passengers booked onto alternative services and flights and asked that passengers check the website to stay up-to-date with flight schedules. Met Service anticipated fog around the south coast and spreading to other areas over night.
